3.0.6 crashes as soon as I choose a file

[Adrien2002]

Hi,

I've been a fidel timidity-ae user for more than a decade, having no issue at all until that very new version from october 1st.

The app is working perfectly UNTIL I try to play any audio file. MID, OGG, MP3 etc… The app will just close itself without error message.

My phone is a Google Pixel 8a.

What can I share to help you identify the cause? Are there any logs somewhere?

@Adrien2002 Here's a version of 3.0.5 I had saved from 2019. I'm pretty sure it's from Google Play (when the app was still on there). You could use this for the time being.

TimidityAE_v3.0.5(95).zip

I captured the crash from the 3.0.6 F-Droid version:

Can confirm this is happening to my phone as well. Galaxy S20, Android version 13. Downgraded by uninstalling and then installing the previous version on F-Droid.

Still a great piece of software, but damn. :/

Yep, had the same on my Xiaomi MI 8 Lite using the F-Droid version. Reading and playing do start though, but it crashes real soon. Playing does go on after crash and error message shows.

Android version 10

Too bad, had just discovered and sounded real nice :-)

Same problem here on Moto G Power 2021. As soon as I select a midi, the app crashes.
